Known as the ‘Big Maple Leaf’, the commemorative coin was issued by the Royal Canadian Mint in May 2007.

The gold piece is one of the largest coins on the planet with a face value of CA$1 million (US$748,000) and, due to its purity, a material value of US$4 million. It has been on display in Berlin since December 2010.

“The coin is one of approximately 3,400 numismatic highlights, which the coin cabinet shows in the exhibition rooms of the Bode-Museum on the Museumsinsel Berlin,” the museum’s website states.
